| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Restricted eardrum | Woke up in the middle of the night, after first dose earlier that day, with a feeling of golf balls stuck in my throat and extreme heaviness in my chest, and severely sore throat. Feel like breathing/swallowing severely restricted. | The dr. presribed this without any hint of the potential side effects. This is going straight in the trash and I will just deal with my slightly plugged ear. | F | 42 | 1 days | 1/5/2009 | 1 | NASAL CONGESTION | SORE LEFT SHOULDER, CONSTANT URGE TO PEE, LONELY AND UNSATISFIED, MULTIPLE NOSE POLYPS | TOOK 1 YEAR AND AN OPERATION TO GET RID OF SIDE EFFECTS | F | 55 | 10 years | 1/2/2009 | 1 | sinus and allergy | terrible anxiety and rise in blood pressure | I asked for this to try instead of flonase which gave me occasional nose bleeds and just has a bad taste. In 3 days I was on here checking to see if anyone else was having shakes and anxiety as I just had a feeling it was the nasonex. I didnt take any today and already feel a little better. I had only had 3X1 doses so Im hoping I will be back to norm. in a few days..and back to my flonase which never gave me any angst. Felt like a cat with its tail under a rocking chair. | F | 72 | 3 days | 12/29/2008 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I could not sleep, had blurry vision, numbness on left side, anxiety attacks, weight gain, depression and could not focus. Although I suffer from migraines, they became worse. | I wound up in the emergency room where I was informed that my blood pressure was very high. I have never suffered from high blood pressure as it has always been on the low side. It took me over six weeks to get over the symptoms. Needless to say, I would never take this medication again. | F | 58 | 5 weeks | 12/26/2008 | 1 | Ear Infection-Reduce Adnoid Size | After taking Nasonex for several days given at bedtime. On about the 5th night(an hour or so after going to sleep)my son came into our room BURNING UP with a 102.3 fever and his heart was beating really really fast. We didn't make the connection, gave him some tylenol which cooled him off after a bit and he seemed okay the next day. On the following night (tonight as I write this post) same deal. I gave him his two squirts at bedtime and an hour or so later he comes in here BURNING UP AGAIN! HOT ALL OVER! Temp 102 again and his heart was POUNDING OUT OF HIS CHEST. That's it for this crap! I'm saddened the ENT would prescribe this to him. He should have said something about the possible side effects. This is SCARY. Thank GOD for this website and all the post I just read. He's just now cooling off again from the Tylenol. We're just going to have to have his adnoids removed. | This crap cost us an arm and a leg. $88.00 for a teeny weeny tiny spray bottle. This should be ILLEGAL!!!! | M | 43 | 6 days | 12/25/2008 | 1 | Allergy | Insomnia, depression, low sex drive | After having nasal surgery my ENT recommends that I take nasonex for the rest of my life. I took it for several months and then stopped. At that time I also had these symptoms but did not make the connection. Then started nasonex again for about a month and started getting the symptoms again. I have now been off it for just over 3 weeks but still have some of the symptoms and am very concerned. I hope some people on here can post how long it took for all the symptoms to go away after not taking it. I am curious to see if the symptoms I have are truly related to it or if I am just being overly stressed about it. | M | 38 | 6 months | 12/16/2008 | 1 | itchy eyes, nose and sinus problem | I recently had sudden onset of insomnia, racing thoughts and intense anxiety during the night. Prior to this current use of Nasonex I had the same problems for at least a year. I did an intensive sleep training clinic, addressing anxiety and good sleep behavior. At the same time of this treatment I had a respiratory infection and had my meds changed to address my asthma. Near the day that Nasonex was dropped I suddenly slept deeply. I thought it was the training working after 5+ weeks of intensively addressing the sleep issue. So, about 40 days ago my allergist said my infection was cleared up and to go back on Nasonex. Within days my sleep was disturbed. So, yesterday I decided to look over my calender and drug info to see if I could make any connections. It is not indicated on the Nasonex information that there could be sleep or other behavioral disturbances so, I NEVER SUSPECTED IT. It clearly showed on my calender that use of Nasonex was consistent with the sleep and anxiet | If you must, use with extreme caution and observation. It is always important to journal drug use. | F | 44 | 40 days | 12/11/2008 | 1 | irritated, drippy nose | Headaches, blurry vision, irritability, bloating and weight gain, mental fog, flu-like aches, memory problems, fatigue, finger joint (1 hand only), and anal burning. After 3 weeks use, I ended up with Iritis in my left eye for nearly 3 weeks, which left me with blurry vision and was unable to see out of that eye. I had to keep it dilated for 10 days to keep from having permanent vision loss. Also, Nasonex cost me $$ for eye doctor and anti-inflammatory eyedrops, loss of work, and lack any joy in my life. | I can't believe the doctor said there would be no side effects, and I only took the child's dose (1 X day). I thought I had a brain tumor or developed some auto-immune disease. I was ready to get a CT scan or something. I could have ended up seeing Dr. House! | F | 56 | 6 weeks | 12/10/2008 | 1 | Allergies | My 6 year old son was very aggressive, had a very out of character crying fit, seemed disoreintated, appeared to be hullacinating (claiming his friends were on TV!), was aggressive towards his sister (very out of character) and aggressive towards me (even more out of character). He was exhausted but could not sleep. He cried for an hour at school drop off, so much so that the principal came and asked if I needed help. Similar reaction to Flixotide. | If you have a child who is affected by corti-steriods, I would use this with extreme caution. | M | 6 | 6 days | 12/3/2008 | 1 | supposed allergies | After using for 4 days have been sleepless for the last two. General unease and nervousness. Actually got up in the middle of the night to eat! Have throat tightness and chest heaviness. Took today off work because I didn't sleep all night! | Has not cleared the drip and stuffy nose that it was prescribed for; not worth the side effects, am going to stop using it. | F | 41 | 4 days | 12/1/2008 | 1 | Allergies/ Swollen Sinuses | Extreme irritability, mood swings, "autistic" like symptoms, vomiting/nausea. | Would most definitely NOT recommend children taking this medication. | M | 6 | 3 weeks | 11/25/2008 | 1 | allergies, rhinitis | anxiety, mood swings,deppression, heart palpitations | Although it helped my symptoms I had a terrible experience with Nasonex and its emotional side effects. When I returned to the allergist and described my experience, he told me that it was impossible for the drug to have that effect. I firmly believe that this is not true. I know how I felt while taking it. Nasonex made me go crazy for the duration of the time that I was on it. When I stopped taking it, I returned to my normal self. | M | 33 | 80 days | 11/25/2008 | 1 | Chronic allergies (all year) | Total Loss of smell and accompanying loss of taste | After taking it for 3 years, I had all the other symptoms (bleeding nose, dryness, etc) but it cured my allergies. Now, in the last month, complete loss of smell which is DRAMATIC! Nobody can tell if it will come back. Anyone knows? | M | 49 | 3 years | 11/21/2008 | 1 | decade long sinus drip | first day, light relief by the end of that first day, 'bounce back' of original symptoms only worse. second day, sinus swelled shut and I am full of flem not only in the back of my throat, which is now sore, but not the front, where the spray hit. | i am very disappointed. i really wanted this spray to work. the sinus drip is more like a running faucet that is starting to effect my lungs. there most be more to try than antibiotics which didn't work, and this stuff.... | F | 50 | 2 days | 11/15/2008 | 1 | YES | STARTED TAKING IT ON 11/11/08 AND AN HOUR OR TWO LATER MY HEART WAS RACING, MY TEMP SHOT UP TO 102, AND I THOUGHT I WAS DYING. MY HEART FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING OUT OF MY CHEST AND I ALMOST HAD TO WAKE UP MY WIFE TO DRIVE ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS.. | M | 31 | 1 days | 11/12/2008 | 1 | SINUS | HEART PALPITATIONS AFTER EATING ESPECIALLY, COULD NOT SLEEP, DEPRESSION, WORE A HALTER, WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM FOR HEART RACING, THOUGHT I HAD HEART DISEASE. ONLY ASSUME IT'S THE NASONEX | WOULD NOT EVER USE AGAIN..CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW LONG BEFORE LEAVES THE SYSTEM | F | 40 | | 11/11/2008 | 1 | nasal congestion | major soar throat!!! It hurts so bad I can't sleep. I went out twice in the middle of the night to get stuff from the drug store. My situation may have been exaggerated by acid reflux prior to taking Nasonex. Also had some muscle pains in bicep's, bad smell and weird taste in my mouth. | M | 49 | 8 days | 11/6/2008 | 1 | sinus infection caused by allergy | eyes swolen shut, after one dose of nasonex | called doctor , discontinued use | F | 17 | 1 days | 10/30/2008 | 1 | Sinusitis | Terrible dizziness and light-headedness (especially at night) - repeatedly woke up from periods where it seemed my blood pressure had dropped drastically (causing dizziness), followed by racing heart (to compensate for the drop in blood pressure). Symptoms came on slowly but by the third day, I only took one dose (at night) and the symptoms were even worse that night, so I stopped taking it altogether and will never take it again. I think it would have killed me had I kept on taking it. Fortunately the antibiotics I have been taking have cleared up the infection. | I believe the medical community is not paying close enough attention to the potentially life-threatening side effects of this drug. Take it with extreme caution. | F | 35 | 3 days | 10/29/2008 | 1 | allergies: runny nose & itchy eyes | Nausea, sore throat, occasional dizziness, acne, and feeling like I am going to come down with a fever ( overall crappiness and feeling like my body is just worn out). Along with the nausea, there were periods where I felt like I could eat like a pig. But when I did eat, I felt sick again. It did cure my allergy symptoms, but I can't live with Nasonex. | I am a very healthy, energetic 33 year old woman who is typically not "sensitive" to many medications. This is the only med that I have ever taken where the side effects are absolutely awful! I have a Master's degree in nursing and would not recommend this drug for any of my patients. I have discontinued the drug for 3 days now and still fell lousy, but a little better. I am sure that it will take some time for it to be eliminated from my body. | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 10/7/2008 |
